So I went ahead and bought the polarized film and I started the removing process. The pic is before. It was so much worse than that. At the very beginning it was crackled, the 1st layer was easy to remove as it was toast by the sun/heat I assume. So I was able to peel off pretty much all of it...

IIRC the GTX 1070 IS faster than the GTX 980, not by much, but still.

It's really impressive that this card meets or beats the RTX3080 and gets really close to the RTX3090 in several games.

time to grow a new kidney ;):rolleyes:

The game that for me made a night and day difference with SSR vs RT was CONTROL. It's like playing a completely different game. IMO that's the most noticeable RTX feature, not shiny surfaces.

I'm not sure if that speaks good or bad for intel.

It's kind of weird that AMD (ATI) bought ArtX technology and it was the basis for their next generation cards then on. while nvidia bought 3dfx but pretty much nothing from it was incorporated into later projects.

I'm sure everyone will agree that the 9800 was better than the FX5900, but actually the 5900 was a resounding success, it was a top seller for nvidia. I had mine flashed to FX 5950ultra and it was great.

If memory serves me well, the Radeon 8500 put the first dent on nvidia's Geforce3. (Still loved my Ti200). The Geforce 4 regained the crown but was obliterated by the Radeon 9700 (still loved my Ti4200, but not as much) and then the 9800 became the undisputed king, not even the 5900...

It IS easier to do raytracing than using every single magic trick with shaders. With Path Tracing you get pretty much every light related effect for "free" like global illumination, ambient occlusion, reflections, ray traced shadows, and a long etcetera. The problem is performance. But we are...

If intel manages to get their sh*t together, they could be a real contender. Both its AI and RT engines are quite capable, it's the overall performance that's lacking. Coincidentally, intel could very well fight AMD if neither can face nvidia at the high end.

Nvidia is expected to incorporate AI even more into RTX to further improve IQ/performance, so anything AMD can do to improve RT performance is more than welcome, but I really don't see them matching, much less overtaking nvidia. But hey, stanger things have happened.

Just found out why Scar is not in the movie, don't want to spoil it. It did spark my interest.

wait, so now Mufasa is an orphan? yet he has Scar as a brother, (who was not invited to the film apparently). No James Earl Jones., really? Being disney, I'm thinking the Kiara will be the main character in spite of the title, and some sort of flashbacks to teach Kiara a lesson on how to be...

Not great, but pretty good. I only fear it won't be up to the hype, more often than not, I see rumors and leaks of cameos and plots, too many for them to end up in the movie. Kind of what happened with Dr Strange. Still, having just Deadpool and Wolverine should be plenty.

Actually I think they are going for the older crowd who watched the cartoons from the 80's hence the look

I know the looks take homeage to the vintage series, and I guess it fits, but I was hoping for a more modern look. But hey, the last ninja turtles movie was not a looker, but it was pretty good. So there's hope.

So, there are cars on Cybertron? Not very impressed, didn't really like much the look of the characters.

I completely agree, the 4090 should cost exactly that. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

So I grabbed a small piece of film that fell from the screen. I put it horizontally on the part that was missing and it showed the image beneath, I then rotated it 90° and it won't show anything so I'm pretty sure its a 90° polarized film.
